There are at least two things that a
preacher really ought not to do.One is
to collect his own salary, another is to be the
spokesman in matters concerning the upkeep of the house in which he lives, for
it often seems that he only has personal and selfish motives in matters of this
kind.But as it seems that no one else
will take the lead in the matter of repairing the parsonage, it falls my lot to do so.Therefore I am asking that the trustees together with the committee of
ladies meet at the parsonage on Saturday afternoon, March 17th at 2:00 o’clock to investigate the needs of the parsonage.

I want to urge that each of the above
named parties be present.I want to
reemphasize a former statement that since all the churches get the benifit of
the pastor’s services, that each church is responsible for the upkeep of the
parsonage.It has been more than a month
since the First Quarterly Conference and yet no stops have been taken toward
the needed repairs of the parsonage and so if the matter is delayed much longer
the year will slip away and nothing be done.I believe that a preacher’s service ought to be appreciated enough to
furnish bread and meat and a comfortable place in which to live.

After printing the notice of the Tax

dates he will be at Ivy Log and Gum Log.The correct dates are Ivy Log the 23rd and Gum Log the 24th.

$100. Reward $100.

Since it has been reported that I once
made a false affidavit (swore a lie) before N. C. Forrester and since some of my
dear friends (?) are very anxious to find said affidavit, I will pay the first
person producing such affidavit One Hundred Dollars ($100.)This is to make the game more interesting.

(This
is the reason that this particular newspaper was found in an old trunk that
once belonged to Elbie Dills Clement.She was the wife of William Narvie Clement.I was unable to find out many details about
why Narvie Clement offered such a tremendous reward for such affidavit, but I do
know that it was in relation to property boundaries at Mt. Pleasant 1 Church. TheN. C. Forrester
listed in this section was the father-in-law to Narvie’s sister, Vesta Clement
Forrester. I can only conclude that Narvie was eminently sure that no such
document existed due to the amount of the reward…$100.00 in 1928 was a
tremendous amount of money at that time.He was confident enough to post this amount, therefore asserting his
innocence in this situation.)

in Blairsville in household #72 on Young Harris Road. (Ancestry.com had these
spellings of the names in their index. The actual census was badly faded,

the names.)]
